WSUmywifi is a WSU wireless network available to students on both the Winona and Rochester campuses. Use it to connect your personally-owned devices to the Internet, including phones, game consoles, smart televisions, and streaming media devices (e.g., Apple TV, Roku, Amazon Fire TV Stick, Google Chromecast).

When to use WSUmywifi

WSUmywifi and Warrior are two wireless service set identifiers (SSIDs) that reside on our WSU network. Use WSUmywifi to connect your personally-owned devices to the Internet in WSU residence halls and while on all WSU campuses. It is not intended for use with your WSU laptop. Instead, connect your WSU laptop to Warrior. Because your WSU laptop and personal devices are on the same underlying network even though they are connected using different SSIDs, you can share files between your laptop and phone (e.g., using AirDrop) and print to WSU networked printers from your phone.
